You can manipulate the sounds by changing the frequency, playing in reverse, looping, adding effects such as distortion and delay. You can also change parameters such as attack, decay, sustain, and release. You can connect a MIDI keyboard and play the current sound with full polyphony.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HOUSE at 88% against Annoydio's 20%. HOUSE also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 5). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
